DESCRIPTION

The Get-WSManInstance cmdlet retrieves an instance of a management resource that is specified by a resource

Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The information that is retrieved can be a complex XML information set, which is an object, or a simple value. This cmdlet is the equivalent to the standard Web Services for Management

(WS-Management) Get command.

This cmdlet uses the WS-Management connection/transport layer to retrieve information.

PARAMETERS

-ApplicationName

Specifies the application name in the connection. The default value of the ApplicationName parameter is WSMAN.

The complete identifier for the remote endpoint is in the following format:

://:/

For example: `http://server01:8080/WSMAN` Internet Information Services (IIS), which hosts the session, forwards requests with this endpoint to the specified application. This default setting of WSMAN is appropriate for most uses. This parameter is designed to be used if many computers establish remote connections to one computer that is running Windows PowerShell.

In this case, IIS hosts WS-Management for efficiency.

Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Associations []

Indicates that this cmdlet gets association instances, not associated instances. You can use this parameter only when the Dialect parameter has a value of Association. Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Authentication

Specifies the authentication mechanism to be used at the server. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

- Basic. Basic is a scheme in which the user name and password are sent in clear text to the server or proxy.

- Default. Use the authentication method implemented by the WS-Management protocol. This is the default. -

Digest. Digest is a challenge-response scheme that uses a server-specified data string for the challenge. -

Kerberos. The client computer and the server mutually authenticate by using Kerberos certificates. -

Negotiate. Negotiate is a challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server or proxy to determine the

scheme to use for authentication. For example, this parameter value allows for negotiation to determine

whether the Kerberos protocol or NTLM is used. - CredSSP. Use Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP)

authentication, which lets the user delegate credentials. This option is designed for commands that run on one remote computer but collect data from or run additional commands on other remote computers. Caution: CredSSP delegates the user credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. This practice increases the security risk of the remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, when credentials are passed to it, the credentials can be used to control the network session. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-BasePropertiesOnly []

Indicates that this cmdlet enumerates only the properties that are part of the base class that is specified by the ResourceURI parameter. This parameter has no effect if the Shallow parameter is specified. Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-CertificateThumbprint

Specifies the digital public key certificate (X509) of a user account that has permission to perform this action. Enter the certificate thumbprint of the certificate.

Certificates are used in client certificate-based authentication. They can be mapped only to local user

accounts; they do not work with domain accounts.

To get a certificate thumbprint, use the Get-Item or Get-ChildItem command in the Windows PowerShell Cert:

drive. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-ComputerName

Specifies the computer against which to run the management operation. The value can be a fully qualified domain name, a NetBIOS name, or an IP address. Use the local computer name, use localhost, or use a dot (.) to specify the local computer. The local computer is the default. When the remote computer is in a different domain from the user, you must use a fully qualified domain name must be used. You can pipe a value for this parameter to the cmdlet. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-ConnectionURI

Specifies the connection endpoint. The format of this string is as follows:

://:/

The following string is a correctly formatted value for this parameter: `http://Server01:8080/WSMAN` The URI must be fully qualified. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Credential

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01, Domain01\User01, or User@Domain.com. Or, enter a PSCredential object, such as one

returned by the Get-Credential cmdlet. When you type a user name, this cmdlet prompts you for a password.

Required? false Position? named Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Dialect

Specifies the dialect to use in the filter predicate. This can be any dialect that is supported by the remote service. The following aliases can be used for the dialect URI:

- WQL. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/WQL - Selector.

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wsman/SelectorFilter - Association.

http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/cimbinding/associationFilter Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Enumerate []

Indicates that this cmdlet returns all of the instances of a management resource. Required? true Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Filter

Specifies the filter expression for the enumeration. If you specify this parameter, you must also specify Dialect . The valid values of this parameter depend on the dialect that is specified in Dialect . For example, if Dialect is WQL, the Filter parameter must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid WQL query such as the following query:

`"Select * from Win32_Service where State != Running"`

If Dialect is Association, Filter must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid filter, such as the following filter:

`-filter:Object=EPR[;AssociationClassName=AssocClassName][;ResultClassName=ClassName][;Role=RefPropertyName][;R

esultRole=RefPropertyName]}`

Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Fragment

Specifies a section inside the instance that is to be updated or retrieved for the specified operation. For example, to get the status of a spooler service, specify the following:

`-Fragment Status`

Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-OptionSet

Specifies a set of switches to a service to modify or refine the nature of the request. These resemble

switches used in command-line shells because they are service specific. Any number of options can be specified.

The following example demonstrates the syntax that passes the values 1, 2, and 3 for the a, b, and c parameters:

`-OptionSet @{a=1;b=2;c=3}`

Required? false Position? named Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Port

Specifies the port to use when the client connects to the WinRM service. When the transport is HTTP, the default port is 80. When the transport is HTTPS, the default port is 443.

When you use HTTPS as the transport, the value of the ComputerName parameter must match the server's

certificate common name (CN). However, if the SkipCNCheck parameter is specified as part of the SessionOption parameter, the certificate common name of the server does not have to match the host name of the server. The SkipCNCheck parameter should be used only for trusted computers. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-ResourceURI

Specifies the URI of the resource class or instance. The URI identifies a specific type of resource, such as disks or processes, on a computer. A URI consists of a prefix and a path of a resource. For example: `http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_LogicalDisk`

`http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_NumericSensor`

Required? true Position? 0 Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-ReturnType

Specifies the type of data to be returned. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

- Object

- EPR

- ObjectAndEPR

The default value is Object. If you specify Object or do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet returns only objects. If you specify endpoint reference (EPR) this cmdlet returns only the endpoint references of the objects. Endpoint references contain information about the resource URI and the selectors for the instance. If you specify ObjectAndEPR, this cmdlet returns both the object and its associated endpoint references. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-SelectorSet

Specifies a set of value pairs that are used to select particular management resource instances. The SelectorSet parameter is used when more than one instance of the resource exists. The value of the SelectorSet parameter must be a hash table. The following example shows how to enter a value for this parameter:

`-SelectorSet @{Name="WinRM";ID="yyy"}`

Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-SessionOption

Specifies extended options for the WS-Management session. Enter a SessionOption object that you create by

using the New-WSManSessionOption cmdlet. For more information about the options that are available, type

`Get-Help New-WSManSessionOption`.

Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Shallow []

Indicates that this cmdlet returns only instances of the base class that is specified in the resource URI. If you do not specify this parameter,, this cmdlet returns instances of the base class that is specified in the URI and in all its derived classes. Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-UseSSL []

Specifies that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is used to establish a connection to the remote computer. By default, SSL is not used.

WS-Management encrypts all the Windows PowerShell content that is transmitted over the network. The UseSSL

parameter lets you specify the additional protection of HTTPS instead of HTTP. If SSL is not available on the port that is used for the connection, and you specify this parameter, the command fails. Required? false Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

Description : Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service implements the WS-Management protocol for

remote

management. WS-Management is a standard web services protocol used for remote software and

hardware management. The WinRM service listens on the network for WS-Management requests

and processes them. The WinRM Service needs to be configured with a listener using the winrm.cmd command line tool or through Group Policy in order for it to listen over the network. The WinRM service provides access to WMI data and enables event collection. Event collection and subscription to events require that the service is running. WinRM messages use HTTP and HTTPS as transports. The WinRM service does not depend on IIS but is preconfigured to share a port with IIS on the same computer. The WinRM service reserves the /wsman URL prefix. To prevent conflicts with IIS, administrators should ensure that any websites hosted on IIS do not use the /wsman URL prefix.
